One of Rock’s most enduring and influential bands, Killing Joke, are postponing their CD release and subsequent tour. They write on their MySpace blog,
Dear Friends and Family,
It is with great reluctance that I have to inform you all of our postponing the upcoming tour dates and rescheduling of the album release.
I am incredibly grateful to The Gathering and fans for all their support, and it pains me very much that things have unfolded as they have.
We are all super excited about the recent recording and I personally am very proud to have taken part and had so much input in this endeavor. We have all given our utmost to make this an album to be proud of and to capture the best that is Killing Joke.
Unforeseen circumstances have made meeting deadlines impossible and have led to this extremely hard decision.
Of course all tickets will be honoured for the rescheduled shows in September and we eagerly look forward to playing the new material for you.
With Respect,
Big Paul. KJ.
The new album was scheduled to be release in April and it was the first one by the band since 2006’s Hosannahs From The Basements of Hell, and the first since the death of Paul Raven. Additionally, it is the first release with the original lineup since 1982’s Revelations.
